November 26, 1998 <br /> CC: Mike Graffon Sr. Planning Director <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Pkwy <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> RE: Public alleyway dividing property located at 500 Orono Orchard Road <br /> Dear Mayor Jabbour: <br /> As a follow up to our recent conversation while at the Pharmacy at the Wayzata Medical <br /> Building, per your suggestion, I am writing to you regarding the alleyway the divides my lot in <br /> two. <br /> The city maintains this alley which only serves one home. The home that the alleyway provides <br /> access to is owned by Kent and Sandra Larson and is currently being used as a rental property. <br /> I asked you how we could resolve the division of my lot and help the city save money. Your <br /> idea of having the city stop maintaining this and similar alleys in Orono, and the relocation of the <br /> lot lines, including moving the driveway to the southern boarder of my property, would resolve <br /> the issue. To accomplish this the lot line of my property could be relocated twelve feet to the <br /> north of the existing line, up to the existing alley drive. The twelve-foot width is the same width <br /> of the current alley. <br /> On November 23, 1998 I spoke with Liz at the City of Orono. She mentioned that to meet the <br /> January meeting deadline, I need to apply to the City Planning Commission by December 16 for <br /> a lot line realignment. At that time I would also need to provide a sketch of the lot line change to <br /> the commission. <br /> I am happy to do all of this if the decision is made by the city. If the Larsons are able to have <br /> the deciding vote, then it's not worth the time and expense to go further. I suspect that the <br /> Larsons will oppose the change because they currently profit from the City maintaining their <br /> rental property's driveway. <br /> Before I proceed, can you run this by Mike and whoever else may be appropriate, to see if this <br /> proposal has a chance of passing? <br /> If I could hear from you by December 10 I would have sufficient time to gather information and <br /> prepare the necessary sketch to meet the December 16th deadline. <br /> I look forward to working with you on this matter. Please feel free to contact me at home at 473- <br /> 1608 or on my Cel phone at 590-4252. <br /> Sinc9rely, <br /> Steven Webster <br /> CC: Sandra Smith and Planning Commission Members <br /> Mike Graffon Sr. Planning Director <br />
